Website Privacy Policy

Personal Data

While using my site, it may ask you to provide information to contact you or identify you. This is so I can contact you with my newsletter, or on occasion, other promotional material. You can opt out of receiving any of these communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link or following instructions provided in any email.

I will keep and use your personal data in accordance with my legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and enforce my legal agreements and policies. I will not keep your personal information longer than necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy.

Other data

My website also collects ‘usage data’, such as your computer’s IP address, type of browser, when your looked at my site and how long you stayed on a particular page, as well as unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data. Usage data is used to analyse how my site is being used. This is usually kept for less time than personal data, except when the data is used to improve security or the functionality of the site, or if by law I am required to keep this data for a longer length of time.

Cookies

Cookies [and similar tracking technologies] track the activity on my site. A cookie is a file which is sent to your browser from a website and is stored on your computer or other device. It may include an anonymous unique identifier.

You can stop the use of all cookies or get your browser to say when a cookie is being sent. If you decide not to accept cookies, some of my site will not be available to you.

Data Transfer

Any data you submit is transferred to the United Kingdom, where it is processed. If you live outside the UK, the data protection laws may be different from where you live.

By consenting to this Privacy Policy, and submitting information, you are agreeing to the transfer of data.

I will take all reasonable measures to ensure that your information is treated securely, as laid down in this privacy policy. Your personal data will not be transferred to any organization or country unless there are sufficient safeguards in place to ensure your personal information is secure.

Your Rights

I aim to take reasonable steps to allow you to change, correct, delete, or limit the use of your own personal information. You can update your personal data within your account settings section, or you can contact me to make the changes. If you would like to know what personal data I hold, please contact me.

In certain circumstances, you are entitled to access and receive a copy of the personal data I hold, correct any inaccuracies, or request its deletion. You can request a copy of your personal data in a commonly used electronic format so that you can manage and move it. You may need to prove your identity before I respond to any such request.

Service Providers

Since computers aren’t my area of expertise, I may employ a third-party company or individual to assist with, provide or analyse my internet service on my behalf. Access any third party has to your personal data is limited to what is necessary to perform these tasks. They are not allowed to use it for anything else or to pass it on.

Data Security

Although I will try to keep your data secure, transferring information over the internet or storing it electronically is never completely secure. Therefore, I cannot make an absolute guarantee as to its security.

Legal Requirements

I may be required to disclose your personal data when requested by a public authority, to comply with a legal obligation, to protect my rights or property, to protect against legal liability, to prevent or investigate possible misconduct in connection with my website, or to protect the public or the personal safety of users of this website.

Google Analytics analyses web activity. Google uses the data collected to track and monitor the use of our Service. This data is shared with other Google services. Google may use the collected data to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network.

You can opt-out from having your activity on my web site available to Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The add-on prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) from sharing information with Google Analytics about visits activity.
